What a tedious semantic argument. An inaccurate use of a term in an informal setting that nonetheless quite accurately describes the symptoms he experienced, is not fake news - it's not even news, it's an internet comment. It's been corrected now.

it’s pretty likely to be unintentional

It's generally unintentional to beat someone and have them wind up in a vegetative state.

    See the other comment from someone else, they were not beaten at all and the one anonymous report that he was appears to be fabricated

    Not what the other comment says.

    "Didn't they beat the guy so badly he had brain damage and died?"

    Is that not what this person is saying?

    I'm not sure I understand, I don't think ryannathans (or anyone else in this chain) is saying that at all?

    The beating the previous comment or is referring to isn't a real beating, it's figurative to make a point. Intentional or not, it happened and NK is responsible for the outcome. Just like the US is responsible for what happens to the foreign nationals we imprisoned.
